Birds and Birding

Grab your binoculars and practice your warbles, it's time for an update on the Christmas Bird Count. The data from these counts have made up a crucial record of how species are moving and surviving. We'll hear from the experts about the species that are missing, migrating or making a comeback. And if you're itching to count some more, there's also project Feederwatch, another citizen science project, which can keep you counting until spring. We'll also take a look at some new technology that makes it easier than ever to identify birds in the field--without carrying a hefty field guide along.
